Mukesh Ambani has a distinctive flair of living life large, be it his gigantic Mumbai mansion'Antilla' or his massive 168 car collection. Known for his penchant towards Mercs, Bentleys, etc. he owns a dozen of those. And his prized possession is the Maybach that he purchased for a whopping sum of Rs 5.25 Crore. Talk about splurging!

2. Ken Lingenfelter

Ken, being the son of General Motors'executive, can safely be assumed to have horsepower in his veins. After successfully running a company, Ken went on to purchase his cousin's 'Lingenfelter Performance Engineering'. His first purchase was in 1969, a Jaguar XKE, and that's when the madness begin. His collection currently houses more than 150 exotic cars full of corvettes, chevys, muscle cars, hyper cars, and rare collectibles! Ken is also the proud owner of some legendary cars like the 1988 Lingenfelter-powered Callaway ‘Sledgehammer’ Corvette, the 1955 Duntov Test Mule and many more!

7000. Yes, that's a seven with three zeroes following it. And that's the number of rides Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei owns. What's so special about his collection than the number? He stores them all in five aircraft hangars, and the ride tally in 2010 was 604 Rolls Royces, 574 Mercedes-Benzes, 452 Ferraris, 382 Bentleys, 209 BMWs, 179 Jaguars, 134 Koenigseggs, 21 Lamborghinis, 11 Aston Martins, and 1 SSC.

If that wasn't all, he also owns limited editions, one off concept cars like the Ferrari Mythos concepts, a modified Jaguar XJ220 designed by Pininfarina himself, a Bentley Java, a Bentley Dominator 4x4, the only Cicero BDB Maestro ever built, the only Porsche Carma, and the only Koenigsegg Agera CC GT. This man deserves the most epic bro-fist, ever.

5. Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan

Other than carving his name on earth so it can be seen from space, Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, or Hamad as all Google Earth users know him as, owns the most outrageously whacked-out (yes, it needed such an emphasis) collection in the world. How radical is it? To start off with, he built a pyramid to store his cars. Nicknamed as the Rainbow Sheikh, he owns seven Mercedes S-class depicting every colour in the rainbow so he can drive one for every day. Apart from that, he owns customized Mercedes monster trucks and a colossal Dodge Power Wagon. He also owns the world's largest Bedouin Caravan and Jeep.

Who says the Pharaohs are dead? They're just busy collecting cars and carving their names on planets!
